After the Rain by Natália GomesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
'We’re alive. So let’s start living.'
Two strangers
Jack was sporty and outgoing. Alice was bookish and introverted. Their lives were on completely different paths.
One life-changing tragedy
That is before the day they were in the wrong place at the wrong time: before the day their lives were torn apart in a bombing.
A hopeful new friendship
Struggling to cope with their new worlds, their unlikely new friendship helps them find hope. But can they help each other rebuild their lives and start again?

This was the first book I got out from the Libby app, and it was a good read. At times, I found the pacing a little slow, but it fits right in with so many other YA novels that examine bombings and terrorism, and the effects these have on the survivors. There's a surprising amount packed in here, and the characterisation was deftly done.
